Description: |
Traces the cycles of Naomi and Ruth for clues about women's needs for varying friendships in different seasons of life. Drawing on the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi, Bankson explores what we can learn from their unique friendship that survived marriages and moves, death and displacement. Bankson proposes that we need different kinds of friendships in different seasons of our lives. Stories from the author's own life illustrate the contemporary aspects of Ruth and Naomi's journey. The concluding chapter presents a unique perspective on the Book of Ruth as a parable of our friendship with God. The first title in the new Women to Walk With series, Seasons of Friendship includes personal journaling themes for reflection and a study guide with discussion questions and group exercises. |
